Subject: [PATCH v2] crypto: algapi - Avoid spurious modprobe on LOADED
Date: Mon,  6 Apr 2020 23:02:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200407060240.175837-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200407051744.GA13037@gondor.apana.org.au>

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

Currently after any algorithm is registered and tested, there's an
unnecessary request_module("cryptomgr") even if it's already loaded.
Also, CRYPTO_MSG_ALG_LOADED is sent twice, and thus if the algorithm is
"crct10dif", lib/crc-t10dif.c replaces the tfm twice rather than once.

This occurs because CRYPTO_MSG_ALG_LOADED is sent using
crypto_probing_notify(), which tries to load "cryptomgr" if the
notification is not handled (NOTIFY_DONE).  This doesn't make sense
because "cryptomgr" doesn't handle this notification.

Fix this by using crypto_notify() instead of crypto_probing_notify().

Fixes: dd8b083f9a5e ("crypto: api - Introduce notifier for new crypto algorithms")
